Mono shock single-sided swing arm.

Hello all, Like this site, everything seems to be slowing down to an almost stop. Now that the ravages of winter are fast approaching, it looks as though most of us will be visiting our sheds / garages more than ever. I will be one of those I am toying with the idea of replacing the rear swing arm, with one of those single-sided mono shock types from KEPSPEED. These were about £3000 When thay fist hit the market about 2years ago, now there about £500-800 Still alot of money, but hey why not My question is A; Has any body fitted these before and if so was it an easy operation? B; Does anybody have any photos of this in situ or know of any sites that have? C; What does it handle like? Many thanks Si

Thanks again Waynus,

Didn't really want to go down the fabrication route just yet, It's not long been powder-coated

The last picture shows exactly what I don't want, although having looked at the Motor kit web site, www.motorkit.com/ the white dax in the first page does look rather sexy

I suspect that it looks nice because the wheels are 12"? and the mono spring looks nice and tidy. Have a look and see what you think.

The mono spring looks very tidy indeed.
Not sure about the rim size, hard to compare without rear fender / light.
You could drop them an e-mail and ask what modifications need to be done.
